\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

As the subtitle of this book indicates, What To Eat<\/a> is “An Aisle by Aisle Guide to Savvy Food Choices and Good Eating.”\u00c2\u00a0 Ms. Nestle, a nutritionist and the author of Food Politics<\/a> sheds some light not only on the best choices at the grocery store, but also on how the grocery stores, the food companies, various food lobby groups, and the government influence what you eat.\u00c2\u00a0 This was an eye-opening book, though at times it was a bit dry.\u00c2\u00a0 It is also quite long at 524 pages.\u00c2\u00a0 I opted to read a few chapters at a time, then take a break to read fiction, then come back to What to Eat.\u00c2\u00a0 Every time I returned to this book, I was once again captivated and fascinated by what Ms. Nestle had to offer.<\/p>\n
